  • Max Christie SG | DAL

    Mavericks' Max Christie: Hands out five dimes

    Christie accumulated nine points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 130-120 win over the Cavaliers.

    The Mavericks have had some volatile rotations due to injuries and rest days for veterans, but Christie has maintained a stable role. Over his last eight outings, he's averaging 27.6 minutes per contest with 8.9 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 2.0 three-pointers on 35.2 percent shooting from the field.

  • Oscar Tshiebwe PF | UTA

    Jazz's Oscar Tshiebwe: Settling into key role

    Tshiebwe racked up nine points (3-5 FG, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and three steals across 23 minutes during Sunday's 116-111 loss to Sacramento.

    The Jazz are getting an extended look at the two-way player at the NBA level down the stretch. Tshiebwe has averaged 7.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.0 assists in 17.9 minutes per tilt in his last five games, shooting 57.7 percent from the field. With Jusuf Nurkic (nose), Walker Kessler (shoulder) and Jaren Jackson (knee) done for the year, Tshiebwe should continue pushing Kevin Love for the backup center role behind Kyle Filipowski.

  • Cameron Payne PG | PHI

    76ers' Cameron Payne: Competing for significant role

    Payne accumulated 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 20 minutes during Sunday's 109-103 win over Portland.

    With Tyrese Maxey (finger) out for another several weeks, Payne should continue battling for minutes with Justin Edwards and Trendon Watford. Payne has averaged 15.2 points, 3.6 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 3.0 three-pointers in 23.9 minutes per tilt in his last five games, converting 46.9 percent of his three-point tries.

  • Dean Wade PF | CLE

    Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Notches 12 points

    Wade posted 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt) and five rebounds across 26 minutes during Sunday's 130-120 loss to Dallas.

    Wade remains a key part of Cleveland's rotation, but his fantasy upside is quite limited. Over his last five appearances, he's averaging 20.9 minutes per contest with 7.0 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists on 51.9 percent shooting from the field.

  • Dom Barlow PF | PHI

    76ers' Dominick Barlow: Continues filling in serviceably

    Barlow finished with 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three steals across 21 minutes during Sunday's 109-103 victory over the Trail Blazers.

    With Paul George still suspended until the March 25 matchup versus the Bulls, it looks like Barlow has a clear runway to a starting role for at least Philadelphia's next four games. Barlow has averaged 8.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks in 26.5 minutes per tilt in his last seven games, shooting 52.1 percent from the field.

  • Isaiah Joe SG | OKC

    Thunder's Isaiah Joe: Strong line off bench

    Joe supplied 20 points (8-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt) and four rebounds in 21 minutes during Sunday's 116-103 win over Minnesota.

    Joe continues to play a key role off the bench in Oklahoma City. Over his last six games, he ranks just inside the top-200 players for nine-category formats with averages of 12.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in 25.8 minutes per contest.

  • Toumani Camara SF | POR

    Trail Blazers' Toumani Camara: Shooting woes continue

    Camara notched seven points (3-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists and one block in 31 minutes during Sunday's 109-103 loss to the 76ers.

    Camara continues to produce low-end fantasy value, but his role is centered more on defense for the Trail Blazers. The swingman has scored in single digits in five of his last seven outings, during which Camara has averaged 9.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.6 steals in 33.1 minutes per game while shooting a paltry 30.4 percent from the field.

  • Warriors' Gary Payton: Steps up with full stat line

    Payton closed Sunday's 110-107 loss to New York with 19 points (8-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 28 minutes.

    It was one of Payton's finest efforts of the campaign, tying a season high in scoring. The 33-year-old is worth streaming in most fantasy leagues until the Warriors get healthier, as Payton has averaged 13.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.9 steals in 22.9 minutes per tilt while shooting 56.5 percent from the floor in his last seven games.

  • Kings' Daeqwon Plowden: Handling significant playing time

    Plowden totaled 10 points (3-14 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Sunday's 116-111 victory over the Jazz.

    As the Kings' youth movement continues to take effect, Plowden is settling into a significant role in the frontcourt and turning in quality streaming value in deep fantasy leagues. He's logged at least 30 minutes and 10 points in five consecutive games, during which Plowden has averaged 12.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.4 steals, 1.2 assists and 2.2 three-pointers in 31.5 minutes per contest.

  • Timberwolves' Donte DiVincenzo: Nearly double-doubles

    DiVincenzo supplied 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), nine rebounds and one assist across 30 minutes during Sunday's 116-103 loss to the Thunder.

    This was a strong showing for DiVincenzo in what's been a volatile couple of weeks for the guard. Over his last seven games, he's shooting just 40.4 percent from the field for averages of 8.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.9 three-pointers in 28.4 minutes per contest.
